BackgroundHypermucoviscous (HMV)Klebsiella pneumoniaeproduces large amounts of capsular polysaccharides, leading to high mortality. Since extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing HMVK. pneumoniaestrains have increased in Japan, we investigated and compared the antimicrobial susceptibilities and genetic characteristics of HMV and non-HMV ESBL-producingK. pneumoniae.MethodsWe investigated 291 ESBL-producingK. pneumoniaecollected between 2012 and 2018, and in them 54 HMV strains were identified and comparable 53 non-HMV strains were selected. Then, ESBL gene detection, plasmid replicon typing, and virulence gene detection were done by PCR amplification.ResultsAlmost all of the HMVK. pneumoniaestrains possesseduge(98.1%),wabG(96.3%),rmpA(94.4%),iucA(79.6%),fimH(70.4%),iroB(70.4%), andpeg-344(70.4%). These genes were found less frequently in non-HMV strains (uge20.8%,wabG83.0%,rmpA7.5%,iucA3.8%,fimH9.4%,iroB5.7%, andpeg-3441.9%). K2 capsule type (40.7%) was most common in HMV strains. HMV strains showed higher resistance to cefepime (p= 0.001) and piperacillin/tazobactam (p= 0.005) than non-HMV strains. CTX-M-15 (75.9%, 60.4%) was the dominant ESBL type in both HMV and non-HMV strains, and the most common plasmid replicon type was IncFII (52.1%) in CTX-M-15-producing strains.ConclusionsWe found that HMV strains had more virulence genes and showed higher resistance to antibiotics than non-HMV strains. The most common capsule type was K2. CTX-M-15 was the most common type of ESBL gene in both HMV and non-HMV strains in Japan. The FII plasmid might be related to the spread of CTX-M-15 amongK. pneumoniaestrains.
